I got some small pepermint shrimp about a month
ago. They are tiny like 3/4". I have a Arrow crab I have had for some time now. I saw that one of the shrimp was in back of a rock and the arrow crab was poking it's legs under there it looked like he was chasing the shrimp and the shrimp would keep moving every time the leg got closer. should I keep the crab or will he eat other shrimp I put in the tank. ------------- Josh Zorn 45G reef lots of tropical plants Cell it 910 3924 |

"Feed me
Seymore, Feed me" -- Little Shop of Horrors If you have discovered in your tank feedings what the Arrow Crab likes to eat, just give it more and it will probably leave the PS alone so that it can grow up to defend itself. A gradual increase in tank feeding will increase the growth of everything, including one of the typical AC's favorite foods, Bristleworms.  ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Well if I put the shrimp in the refugium for a while
then what would I feed them to help them grow and stay safe? ------------- Josh Zorn 45G reef lots of tropical plants Cell it 910 3924 |
